HOMESTEAD BAKERY + CAFE

good food made with real ingredients.

Our specialty is long-ferment sourdough — baked in small batches, by hand, using locally milled flours. Rooted in community, we prioritize local sourcing and build strong relationships with the farmers, makers, and food entrepreneurs around us. This is our home away from home and we are so happy you decided to drop by.
